Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[Tortured_Soul]

"Two things. The first, I would like to congratulate and salute you on running such a fine organisation, your pilots are among the most skilled and honourable in the Sector."

A slight pause. The man's usual proud demeanour had crumbled as he put on a half baked fa?ade, trying to hide his fear. This was a man to be respected and treated well. Scared and cornered beasts are easily the most savage and vicious when threatened.

"Secondly, I would ask a favour of you. I realise that Omicron Gamma and surrounding systems are your Sovereign territory. However, I'm am still ordered by TBH pilots, to identify myself. I've flown in your space for long enough for them to know me by my callsign. I would appreciate if you would direct them to give me a wider berth."

Another pause, to re-assess the situation. The fear was beginning to cloud his judgement, I could see the pride beginning to mingle with terror. TBH personnel were watching, some were opening thigh holster, sensing the tension. I was in no position to survive a fire-fight unscathed.

"I will leave you to decide as you wish. Rest assured, I would not hold it against you to deny my request. I will adhere to your ruling either way"

I stood.

"I await your response"

Turning to leave, I began pacing towards the door.
